I just feel like complete crap...

I need to apply for assistance (county healthcare, food stamps, disability) but I can't...cause I just don't have the energy or the mental focus to do it

I don't want to do anything or go anywhere!!!

I JUST FEEL HORRIBLE...and I don't see it getting better anytime soon-ugh

Sometimes we need to force ourselves to do the things that we must.

Bravery is doing something because we must, not because we can.

Gawd.

I don't know.

I always feel this way when I go to the office...like crap.

Nutrition..Is there something missing in the diet?

Oh how I know what you are experiencing!
I can get paralysed by my feelings.
Tips: cry out to God if you believe or not, just something simple but repetitive, God please help me over and over like a mantra. Whatever else pops into your head to add run with it.
Try telling yourself...I am having a bad time but this will pass. I want to accomplish one thing and take the smallest initiative you can, which may start with just standing up! Look for the next small action don't let your thoughts get ahead of you, one baby step of progress on the one item on the to do list.
I feel your pain. Hope these tidbits help.

I am sorry that you are depressed. Sometimes it is like we set ourselves up to be depressed. We never try to motivate our self and we feel stuck. Not wanting to move. GET UP! Its a beautiful day out their accomplish something in your life, something small at first, build up your confidence and move on to something harder. Get up, put 1 foot in front of the other. I know it is not simple to get started Just get up and make yourself go. I promise you will feel better if you just try.

Water and our body's ineffective use of it is part of the problem, make sure you drink enough during the whole day.
